Ten games, full retail price for PC, Switch, Ps4 and Xbox1. That's the dream, but unlikely to happen.

    I was a tournament player back in the day. MvC2 might seem badly balanced, but so was SF3:3rd Strike (only Chun, Yun and Ken in most tournaments), Tekken 4 (Jin was a tier on his own), TTT (Mishimas and Ogres), and CvS2 was also dominated by Blanka, Cammy and Sagat (later A-ism Bison and Sakura joined in). I played all the fighters heavily, and in the end, my favorite is either Guilty Gear X2, or Super Street Fighter II Turbo. Soul Calibur 2 was my favorite 3D fighter. Later on, SF HD Remix was released, and that got me back into competition. But the best fighter of all time I actually believe to be FANTASY STRIKE. It's designed so extremely well.

The dreamcast emulator called ReDream can run this game flawlessly. Not to mention, you can play it in a higher resolution. It's amazing to see some of the artwork,like the character portraits in the character select screen, look so crisp. I would have never imagined they actually had that artwork in that high of a resolution on the disc back in the day.

It looked amazing when it came out, it had a huge roster, it got more attention (that I saw) than any other release I think I've ever seen. Saying there were "better options" on re-release comes down to what you'd call better, it was still one of a kind.

Sure, just two brand were playing, and actually not so many IPs, because Street Fighter and X-Men ruled, but were enough to get that feeling of big party, a multiverse clash along well known and not so know but interesting characters. Something I will never forget is in my local arcade place back in he days, Marvel vs Capcom 2 arcade was the biggest and loudest one, there were always big guys there and felt like the pro gamers stage.

    An excellent MvC2 revisit, Top Hat Gaming Man! I’ve been enjoying your trip down Capcom fighting game memory lane and like most of the reviews and attention to detail you give in explaining how each title and game works! If anything surprised me, it’s a pity that you’re not a fan of MvC2’s soundtrack. I know it’s subjective and it’s jazzy - but there were awesome tracks like the airship stage’s BGM and of course “I wanna take you for a ride” at the character select screen. Not for everyone, but it was a strange kinda good experiment for the time - especially during the Dreamcast era with so many awesome titles for that system. Also! The Japanese release of MvC 2’s Secret Shop was tough and more challenging to unlock characters - there were two sets of point systems and one needed online play iirc!

    4:35 Mega Man, Venom, Srider, and Captain Commando and Jin, are all fresh characters. Their sprites weren't pulled from other games. 19:00 PS2 and Xbox versions of MvC2 aren't similar to the Dreamcast version. They each have their own unique set of bugs, and bug fixes. And, they both have frame drops. 8:30 Sonson in MvC2 is the grand daughter of that character. And for the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions, they were extremely buggy as well, and most of the bugs were fixed. We could even report bugs on the forum to be fix. However, everyone, myself included reported the Blackheart super bug, where his mid-air green demon spray super (whatever it's called) sometimes wont deal chip damage. It was said that the final patch of the game was already finalized. Magneto had the same issue with his mid-air magnetic tempest, however that was fixed. And the bugs that were fixed in the PS2-Xbox versions of the game were reverted. So Ruby Heart can use a snapback before the chest has spawned a ghost to lock his position. Though, it doesn't sink off screen anymore. Anyway, nice video.

    The main reason I love this game was at my local arcade (Gameworks at the time), I dominated a whole evening by winning about 26 matches in a row without loosing. I felt amazing that day. I think it was against 13 different people from mostly adults and a couple of teenagers (I was a teen myself, 16 to be exact). The cabinet was the first game on the second floor, there was a line from the top of the steps that went all the way down to the first floor to the billiards. I heard cheers, boos, and some insults hurled my way, it was amazing. I will never forget that day, and I think that's why I hold MvC2 a special place in my heart. Unfortiantly, when MvC2 came out for download on Xbox 360, I played online and I did well, but nothing like how I did at the arcades. You can say, I met better talent online but atleast I know I'm a Don in South Miami 20 years ago... damn, it's has been 20 years? Now I feel old lol. Also, Dreamcast and MvC2 are paired together in my heart, the best times in my gaming history.
